Please help me to identify this vintage watch

Hello. I am writing to You guys with a kindly inquiry to verify below watch. I got it checked and it is all 18k gold. I am higly confused by the movement - it seems to be cal 1873, caseback and bracelet... Nothing match. Your help will be highly appreciated. Have a nice day.

Not unheard of. Here is an aftermarket 18K gold case for a President. (I wont call it fake because I see no Rolex roll marks on it)

There are 18K cases that a faker could use to try and fool the uneducated. There are even unmarked Solid 18K gold President bracelets out there.

Listed as "My Jewerly Gallery" on pic 4, doesn't inspire confidence!

I find this odd. I'd think you could find an old genuine 1803 for about what you'd pay for a full 18K fake, so why bother? Perhaps I just don't have the mind of a faker.

Anyway thanks for the link, one more thing to watch out for!
